YoloinOhio Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 @carpanthersnews Key departures: President Danny Morrison (resigned) Asst. GM Brandon Beane (BUF) DC Sean McDermott (BUF) GM Dave Gettleman (fired) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElectricCompany Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 He must have been quite a challenging personality to work with, because I don't think his draft, free agency and cap management warrant this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 A lot of this has to seem with how Gett' handles contracts with in house players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninChicago Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 A couple of things: - Beane got in the life boat on the Titanic instead of playing as the ship was going down. He's basically Kool & the Gang from Steve Harvey's set in Original Kings of Comesy. That's a good decision. - Secondly someone wondered if he'd go back to Carolina because he lived in the South his whole life. North Carolina isn't the south it's the Mid-Atlantic at best. Here's a quick guide to determining, "is that the South?" If the state university plays in the SEC it's a yes with a couple of exceptions. Kentucky is too far north, Missouri is too far mid-west and Florida is its own little world. Texas functions like Florida. That leaves South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana as "the south." That is a lot of math for my yankee mind to comprehend! 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of it has to do with him drawing hard lines in contract negeotions with players the owner wants to retain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racecitybills Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Does this mean WGR will no longer slobber over the Panthers as some kind of model franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Perhaps Beane will bring Cam here.I must admit that crossed my mind. Tyrod and the 2 firsts? That's probably the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 There is talk here about there being blowback in the locker room for the way he handled the release of some good or well liked players The Steve Smith release could have been handled better( though I liked it) The release of Josh Norman also was handled weirdly, and was a disaster for the team. Then he cut Bene Benwikere and last years D backfield was brutal. The o line hasn't gotten the attention it needed and Cam was running for his life last year. Couple this with the fact that Jerry Richardson is a strange cat who likes to be boss and is a " Southern" guy dealing with a yankee who probably told JR what he really thought w/o sugar coating it. This is a shock but understandable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the kind of franchise that has MVPs, Players of the Year, Rookies of the Year and goes to the playoffs, including a super bowl? Who wants to emulate THAT?!!?

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Maybe over the alleged 'leaks'? This draft sure wasn't like the Whales drafts of past for buffalo. Beene came in so closely afterwards. At least one allegation of jumping Carolina for a player. Timing is quite curious.

Kirby Jackson Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 That is a lot of math for my yankee mind to comprehend! 😛Just focus on the last sentence. Those 7 states are the whole list. If anyone tells you differently they are lying. Associating NC with the South is like associating Buffalo with NYC. They can put whatever discriminatory laws they want in place but they are still a far cry from the general disdain for those who are different that those other states share.

They've retained their key players, that's what is important. Yes, they let Norman walk, but you do have to keep in mind that he was a one year wonder and was going for the #1 CB contract in football. They sign him, they can't give out the contracts to Matt Kalil and Kawann Short this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another non-sense post from a NFL player. So you think it matters who you do not want to, or do want to, play for? No one is lining up to bid for your services. Take what you can get or retire already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wants to emulate THAT?!!? They have been up and down for years. never had two winning seasons in a row. Have always chuckled at the reverence they get- Their rookies of the year cam from drafting really - because they sucked the year before- not through shrewd drafting. This is the same team Buffalo beat and the fan base was screaming for Rivera's head- Edited July 17, 2017 by racecitybills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianFan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Here are his 1st round picks starting in 2013: Star Lotulelei, Kelvin Benjamin, Shaq Thompson, Vernon Butler, McCaffrey. Outside of Benjamin, the other 1st rounders have been busts. Ok, bust is harsh, to make a point but outside of Kelvin, others have been underwhelming. The current superbowl roster wasn't drafted by Gettleman and his men. I think that's an ISSUE wouldn't you say? And what does that say about Beane? geez. Now I think we got a lemon here.
